On February 27, the press conference of the Magic City Film and Television Alliance instantly attracted the attention of the entire China.
"The first open film alliance in China appears!"
"Principal An threatened: If you want to catch up with Hollywood, you can't follow Hollywood's old path!!"
"Tianwang Studio, Shanghai Media University, and Hanhai Film and Television put aside their prejudices and work together!"
"Integrate resources, optimize manpower, and work harder for movies!!"
"Movies are no longer just movies, movies should include many things!!"
"Explore new development directions for the development of China's film industry!!"
"Countless filmmakers have praised it, saying that this alliance will bring new opportunities to the Chinese film and television industry."
Countless media outlets have reported on and praised this move by the Shanghai Film Industry.
On February 28, Yanjing and surrounding film and television companies, film and television universities, and related surrounding companies announced plans to jointly form the Yenching Film and Television Alliance.
Subsequently, major film industry centers in Xiangjiang, Anxi, and Suzhou also announced similar plans.
For a time, a new form of cooperation model, the film and television alliance based on regions, began to emerge in China. If you don't do it, you will feel that you are lagging behind. Other provinces and regions with relatively weak film industries will either join a few larger ones.
Film and television alliances, or several weak ones unite to form a new film and television alliance.
Finally, by early March, six large-scale regional film and television alliances were formed in China, including Xiangjiang, Magic City, Yanjing, Anxi, Lianghu, and Suzhou. Although the other alliances except the Magic City Film and Television Alliance were only plans.
The Alliance's needs are urgent.
As for why these large alliances do not continue to merge, everyone subconsciously ignores this issue.
At this moment, the Chinese film industry has gradually evolved from a small unit model to a large group model, concentrating most of the resources and reducing the waste of various resources.
The formation of this alliance was only due to Wang Shang's proposal from a small study tour group to the United States, and was gradually facilitated by various factors!
This small move by Wang Shang was also laughed at by major media as a magic hand - a small move caused a big storm.
He became one of the vice-presidents of the Magic City Film and Television Alliance. After being a successful editor, a successful director, and a successful owner of a small company, Wang Shang's influence escalated again and he became a decisive power in the Magic City film and television industry.

After the establishment of the Magic City Film and Television Alliance, the Magic City government was naturally extremely excited.
One of the six major film and television alliances in the country, and they still came out on top. This can be said to be a good face in front of the whole country. As the leaders of the Shanghai Government, they can be said to be extremely glorious and can go anywhere.
It’s a show of pride. At the same time, it’s also a good piece of political capital.
And the citizens of Magic City have also benefited from it. At least in terms of conversation capital, the people of Magic City have another capital to show off.
"Look? We in the Magic City are still awesome!!"
Moreover, if this alliance successfully develops and expands, it is likely to have an output value worth tens of billions of dollars, and it can also drive the development of the entire film and television peripherals and tourism industry.
For the Magic City, no matter which one, it is very attractive.
Soon, the first move after the establishment of the Magic City Film and Television Alliance occurred: applying to the government for a piece of land near the Magic City Film and Television City to build the headquarters of major companies.
It was already very difficult to build a huge film and television city in the capital city where land is at a premium, but now we have to add an additional piece of land. The government said it was under great pressure.
However, in the end, after high-level discussions with the government, in order to retain the film and television alliance, even if they gritted their teeth, they had to agree. Finally, a large piece of wasteland was designated in the deserted suburbs of the factory area to the east of the film and television base. This land was originally intended to be used to sell land to acquire
Government funds now have no choice but to reluctantly part with them.
After the land is demarcated, the construction of the alliance's buildings will also begin.
7 major companies, each with an office building...
A large accommodation community for everyone in the entire alliance to live in, merged together...
Large leisure areas, such as bars, restaurants, playgrounds...
Educational facilities, such as kindergartens, primary schools...
After the alliance was established, a large number of film-related companies soon came to invest, and the alliance's power began to grow.
Maybe one day, Wang Shang can learn from "Avatar" and split a lot of tedious things into various companies, let them do it, and finally integrate them completely during post-production.

On March 1, just as the Magic City Film Alliance continued to strengthen, the film nominations for the Academy Awards were announced, and Wang Shang's "The Fast and the Furious" was nominated for the Best Music Award.
On March 3, "The Fast and the Furious" was finally released worldwide, and "Star Wars: Episode I: Revenge of the Sith" was released together with it.
This is Wang Shang's longest movie to be released in a long time, a full 68 days!
It has shown a tenacious box office vitality. Many people go to watch the movie in many places every day, making many theaters reluctant to show it.
A few days ago, on February 27, the box office of "The Fast and the Furious" in China exceeded the historic mark of 1 billion, becoming the first movie in China to exceed the 1 billion box office mark.
"Dead Man 3", which was released later than "The Fast and the Furious", had already been released for 56 days on February 25, and was finally released worldwide. It earned a total of 2.8 billion yuan in box office worldwide, making Wang
I am both happy and disappointed at the same time. I am happy that it has achieved such a box office success, but I am disappointed that its box office is not as high as the second film.
After excluding various commissions, "Death Comes 3" made a total profit of 700 million. After deducting Ubisoft's investment, there is still 500 million left, and then deducting another 100 million for production, special effects, publicity sharing, costs, and finally King Studio
The profit obtained was 400 million yuan.
Although the total box office after the release caused a wave of exclamations in the country, it was quickly suppressed by the explosive news of the film alliance.
"Kobu Mirai" was released earlier than "Death Comes 3", and the final box office was 950 million yuan. It was surprising enough. The producer made a profit of 310 million yuan. Wang Shang invested 50 million yuan and got a profit of 56 million yuan.
.The profit of only 6 million is better than nothing. It can add a few more cars to the company and improve the living environment of the employees.
In Wang Shang's opinion, the profit of 6 million is really very small, but in the eyes of many small film companies, this profit is enough to surprise them.
On March 4, the day after "The Fast and the Furious" was released, the Chinese box office statistics agency finally announced the total box office of this movie in China - 1.12 billion yuan!!
As soon as the news came out, everyone was shocked to the point of numbness.
At this time, they want to know even more how high the box office this movie can achieve around the world.
Some people are already eager to collect box office records from around the world and make rough statistics for "The Fast and the Furious."
After the statistical results came out, all the filmmakers were immediately shocked.
According to incomplete statistics from various aspects, the box office of "The Fast and the Furious" has reached 4.6 billion yuan, a full box office of 500 million US dollars!
"I'm in a big trough!!"
"It can't be a miscalculation, right?!"
"Is this still a human being?"
Just when they were thinking this, China's box office statistics agency calculated the global box office for "The Fast and the Furious" for the first time, and the box office results they calculated were even more horrifying, reaching a height of 4.95 billion yuan!!
Moreover, this is still an incomplete statistics!! The actual box office should be even more!!
"OMG!!"
"It's so scary! I want to rob!!"
"If the data released by the box office statistics agency hadn't always been accurate, I would have thought it was wrong!"
"How much profit does "Fast and Furious" have to make? 700 million or 800 million?"
————————
On March 6th, Wang Shang finally got the total box office results of "The Fast and the Furious". This statistics comes from the professional box office statistics agency in the United States and is more accurate than the Chinese box office statistics.
The total box office is US$560 million, equivalent to RMB 5.12 billion!!
China 1.13 billion yuan!
Overseas 3.99 billion yuan!
North America has become the largest box office for "The Fast and the Furious", contributing a total of 1.9 billion yuan in box office!
This box office is 1.6 times the box office of "Death Is Coming 2" and 1.8 times the box office of "Death Is Coming 3"!! It's absolutely terrifying!
After Wang Shang saw this data, he couldn't help but be horrified!
"Xiaoyue!!" Wang Shang shouted directly.
The secretary soon knocked on the door and came in.
"I will send you an email now, which contains the box office data of "The Fast and the Furious". You immediately copy the data, find the financial staff to check the contract, and then calculate how much profit our company can get!"
"Okay, Director Wang!" After Li Shuiyue closed the door and went out, she quickly operated the computer, opened the email Wang Shang sent her, and clicked in.
Soon, Li Shuiyue’s eyes were wide open!!
His mouth opened wide, his eyes fixed on the total box office data, and then he wiped his eyes in disbelief: "Am I right?"
With trembling hands, Li Shuiyue copied the data one by one on a piece of paper, and then went straight downstairs to find the finance department, with panic in her steps.
She can't wait to know the final profit result!!
When this data was received from the Finance Department, all financial staff were instantly shocked!
After several financial personnel checked and calculated hurriedly and excitedly, the final profit results came out ten minutes later.
Their faces were already red with excitement!!
Li Shuiyue took the data sheet and rushed to Wang Shang's office upstairs excitedly with a gust of wind.
"Director Wang! The data is out!!" As soon as she opened the door and walked in, she already shouted regardless of her image.
"How much!?" Wang Shang couldn't help but become anxious.
"750 million! Complete profit!!" The secretary was so excited that her face turned red.
"750 million profit?" Although Wang Shang was fully prepared mentally, he still couldn't help but his heart beat faster after hearing this number!!
